How To Stop Morning Breath In Less Than 45 Seconds Per Day

Since the California Breath Clinics was established back in 1993, they have encountered just about every kind of breath condition possible....

From the most offensive situations where you can smell the patients breath from across the room, to those lucky few with breath sweeter than a baby. They have been very fortunate in that they have been able to tackle all types of bad breath, taste disorders, and dry mouth with their TheraBreath line of products.

But, I wanted to share something special with you regarding a category of bad breath and sour/bitter taste common to just about everybody.

First of all, here are some stats.....

Approximately 35% of the world's population has a chronic, noticeable breath condition which usually leads them to seek help from a professional (which may often be incorrect.) This first group has bad breath concerns 24 hours a day, including food odors, taste disorders, dry mouth, and of course "morning breath"....

Another 35% are "borderline" - meaning that their breath seems fresh throughout the day, but they can easily reach "chronic" levels, if they eat certain foods (dairy, alcohol, sugars), after taking medication (antihistamines, antidepressants, high blood pressure medication) and always when they wake up, in other words - "morning breath".

The remaining 30% rarely worry about their breath. The only exceptions are when they eat garlic and onions, or upon wakening (morning breath)...

So what's going on with morning breath?

The thing is, just about EVERYONE has morning breath to one degree or another!

As we sleep throughout the night, our salivary glands slow down (or for some older people - shut down completely) because our brain knows we are not eating. This, combined with the constant flow of air (for those of us who snore or are mouth breathers) over our palate makes for a very DRY environment on the tongue, within our oral cavity and in the throat (the breeding grounds of the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria that cause bad breath and taste disorders).

And as I talk about in my article on dry mouth .... this creates an environment that is very conducive for 'morning breath'. (Saliva is nature's way of protecting us from bad breath, because healthy saliva contains high concentrations of oxygen - the natural enemy of anaerobic bacteria.) So if you get morning breath after a good night of sleep - don't worry, you're not alone!

But what most people don't know (and this includes most medical and dental professionals), is that morning breath is NOT something that you have to live with.

The key is to find a way to stop the production of VSC's (Volatile Sulfur Compounds) during the night as you are asleep. One way would be to increase the production of saliva within the back of your throat and mouth during the night. But this is very difficult to do - after all, you're asleep! And those of us who are mouth breathers are drying out the back of our throats with each breath that we take throughout the night.

A better way (and easier way) is to stop the production of sulfur compounds by the bacteria that create morning breath...

Are You Doing the Basics ?

Every single day at The California Breath Clinics, they receive hundreds of emails from people who want help and relief from bad breath, dry mouth, or lousy tastes. These emails usually range in assortment from 'Where do I start?', to 'How does this Work?' to 'HELP ME!'

But some of the most distressing emails they read are those that start out like this: 'I bought your power drops, and tried them today but I still have bad breath'; 'I'm brushing with Colgate and rinsing with Listerine - why do I still have bad breath?'

Let me put it another way.....

When you go to work in the morning, every once in a while you might spend some extra time and invest in a nice hat, maybe a tie, or a nice new pair of shoes. But if you forget to put on a blouse/shirt and pants, you'd look pretty funny, and that nice new pair of shoes or hat wouldn't do much good!

We can't stress it enough - you've GOT to be doing the basics!

In my world, the basics are using TheraBreath toothgel, Oral Rinse, a tongue scraper at least twice daily or using the naturally occurring products such as those mentioned in the Bad Breath Report. If you have bad breath, it's NOT enough to use regular commercial toothpaste and mouthwash, because these products actually dry out your mouth. You MUST be using an oxygenating toothpaste and a mouthwash that does not contain alcohol (to prevent dry mouth).

Once you're doing the basics, only then will you find relief by using a breath spray or power drops. Those items are SUPPLEMENTS, not replacements.

So before you ask your dentist, what you're doing wrong, PLEASE make sure you are doing the basics below.

So before you ask me what you're doing wrong, PLEASE make sure you are doing the basics below.

1) Scrape your tongue gently with a dry tongue scraper to remove the mucous layer.

2) Put some TheraBreath toothgel on the tongue scraper and apply it evenly to the back of your tongue.

3) Let the toothgel sit on your tongue while you are brushing your teeth. Brush thoroughly for 60 seconds.

4) When you are done brushing, spit out, but DO NOT rinse with water. Rinse with 1-2 capfuls of TheraBreath Oral Rinse for 60 seconds.

When you order 'The Basics' you can receive a free TheraBreath powerdrops and free UPS Ground Shipping!

Foods To Avoid If You Want To Prevent Bad Breath

As mentioned previously in this blog, the bacteria that create the volatile sulfur compounds of bad breath and taste disorders, react to various changes in their environment.

Of course, everyone knows that Onions and Garlic will create bad breath. But do you know why? It's because the odorous molecules in onions and garlic are actually sulfur compounds themselves. (Sulfur is nature's way of creating odors.) You're all familiar with the skunk. Its odor is created as a defense and/or attack mechanism. Skunk odor is made up of sulfur compounds (skatoles, etc.) which are natural sulfur compounds.

Food, if it sits out too long will spoil. That action is due to anaerobic bacteria breaking down proteins in that particular food. In milk, the odor of sour milk is caused by relatives of the bugs that create bad breath, when they break down the LACTOSE protein and allow the release of the amino acids which in turn end up becoming Volatile Sulfur Compounds, exactly the same compounds found in bad breath. The same analogy applies to meat if it sits out too long.There are 4 categories of foods that will result in an increase of sulfur production because these categories have a stimulating affect on the bacteria:

1) Drying Agents
2) Dense Protein Foods
3) Sugars
4) Acids

Drying Agents
The most common drying agent in food is Alcohol. Alcohol of course is the basis of all "adult" beverages such as Beer, Wine, and Hard liquor. It is also used, unfortunately in mouthwash, where it only makes the problem worse.

Dense Protein Foods
Dairy foods are notorious for creating bad breath. An article in the Los Angeles Times once noted that over 50% of the population in Southern California was "Lactose Intolerant". This means that tens of millions of people cannot breakdown the lactose protein in dairy foods (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc). The end result is a buildup of amino acids, which are easily converted into Volatile Sulfur Compounds by the anaerobic bacteria found within the surface of your tongue and throat.

Sugars
Wouldn't it be great if we could get rid of bad breath by chewing on M&Ms? Or what if the cure for bad breath were Hershey Kisses?

That's what the makers of ALTOIDS would have you believe. Altoids, and other products of the same ilk, are trying to fool the public into believing that a strong "good" taste in your mouth is equivalent to the "goodness" of your breath. It is so anti-science, as to be absurd. If you think about it for a minute, it doesn't even make sense.

By using concentrated MINT flavorings, your taste buds pick up MINT as a a taste. However, ALTOIDS, contains 2 types of sugar, which are Fuel for the bacteria to reproduce and create more sulfur compounds. In addition, and here's the frightening part, other bacteria can take the sugars and produce glycan strands, which in turn end up causing thick layers of plaque on your enamel and around your gums. This leads to tooth decay and gum disease - and of course worse Breath than when you started.

Acidic Foods
Acidic foods are a problem as you'll read below. Some foods you should watch out for are:

Coffee - both decaf and regular have acids (Tea is OK)
Tomato Juice

Citrus Juices
Orange Juice
Pineapple Juice
Grapefruit Juice

pH is a term used to describe the acidity of the environment. The oral cavity has a normal pH of 6.5 (7 is neutral) which is in the acid range.
